Here we report the construction of three different vectors for the identification of bacterial genes induced in vitro and/or in vivo. These plasmids contain kanamycin, gentamicin, or tetracycline resistance genes as selectable markers. A promoterless cat and an improved GFP (mut3-gfp) can be used to follow the induction of gene expression by measuring chloramphenicol resistance and fluorescence, respectively.
